Edmonton, Alberta
20-26 May 2002
By Judy Lyons, Publicity Director
"Quilt Canada 2002" was a huge success. You can find detailed coverage in "The Canadian Quilter" publication, Autumn 2002. Our thanks to the coordinators Barb Brady-Fryer and Mary Holdgrafer, their organizing committee and the many volunteers.
Our "National Juried Show" was featured in the main gallery space of the Edmonton Art Gallery. The Gallery setting was spectacular for this auspicious occasion. All who had the opportunity to attend will remember it. The show hung for 5 weeks and we thank all who entered and congratulate all who won awards.
The Butterdome hosted 10 quilt shows. These were contributed to by local guilds, art groups, and international quilters. . There was something for all quilt enthusiasts. This huge facility also accommodated all our merchant vendors and tearoom area.
The CQA/ACC Trend-Tex Challenge was truly an expression of "Voices in Cloth" and the response overwhelming. In total 94 pieces were auctioned. We thank you all for your support.
The University of Alberta was a busy place with 23 teachers holding workshops teaching their special techniques and designs. Our Artist in Residence, Wendy Lewington Coulter, showed her week's work at the final banquet. The three-panel quilt was donated to "Read In" a local literacy group.
Our Annual General Meeting ended with a visit from a very enthusiastic group of buffaloes inviting us to attend Quilt Canada 2004 in Winnipeg.
We wish to express our thanks to all who participated, and attended.
Your support to the Association is greatly appreciated. Hope we see you all again at our next event.
